Hi everyone:
So just looking for support. I have an 18 year old Cat who has stable CKD (the last labs were done yesterday) dealing with tooth reabsorption. He has been dealing with a lot of pain, so he received a pain transdermal on the back of his neck and a convenia injection to slow down the infection. I also was going to try some hibaclens as well for outside of the teeth to see if that could help get rid of the bacteria. We talked about this plan and then I bought the meds.
At first he was fine- but the second day he started limping and hiding, eating less. Now I can only get him to eat very little. He is also urinating. Had one bowel movement but he is in so much pain in his legs that he sat in the bathtub and was all wet to drink water. This is now day 4.
The only thing I warned about with Convenia was the kidney issues, not all of this. I am so worried because after all of this - $431 later - I STILL will have to get rid of his teeth anyway. The vet doesn't want to do it either ( remove his teeth ) because I dont know if he can take it.
How long generally did those who used convenia with these side effects see this to get better?
